33 Backstop Solutions Testimonials

“The Backstop software is constantly evolving, and the team behind it does a great job of listening and working with their clients to make their experience better, improving Backstop's functionality. Most importantly, the people behind the software truly believe in their product.”

“We’re considered an institutional player, and Backstop is definitely one of those functions that can make every group a better performer and further institutionalize our investment management program.”

“Not only are we happy with the cost savings provided by Backstop, we’ve experienced at least a 10% improvement in report generation time. By moving performance reporting to Backstop, we’ve improved our data accuracy, and it’s even helped us better communicate across the team. We’ve been really impressed by Backstop’s ability to listen to its users so that the product keeps evolving to meet our needs.”

“At GFOS, we have always put our client interests at the heart of every investment decision we make. Backstop has empowered us with a better way to collaborate and synthesize critical information on a timely basis. Our experience has been very positive since day one, with the entire implementation process running smoothly since we transitioned to the system. Everything our investment team does that touches our investment activities is now facilitated by the Backstop platform. It has become an essential tool in our investment process.”

“With multiple PMs, we saw the benefit of having a centralized solution for investor management from the start. The system was very easy for everyone to get. There was no intensive training time, and we really appreciate all the help we got from the Backstop team as we were starting out. They were able to show us how intuitive data entry is in Backstop, and now we log everything! Not only does this help us leave a historical audit trail to ensure we stay compliant, but it’s also just good business sense to have everything in one place for everyone on my team to access at any time.”

“Follow up very responsive and creative with solutions. Client focused.”

“Well tailored for the needs of the PE/VC industry and fundraising efforts."

“We run private commingled funds across various opportunities that include everything from real estate to hedge funds. We also do more niche-type asset classes. For example, we own private golf clubs and manufactured housing communities, and make those opportunities available to our qualified clients. We like to think we’re able to ‘dig into the weeds’ in direct investing in a way that some of our competitors might not be able to.”

“Backstop’s core functionality is driven by relationships, and that is how our team works. Through Backstop, we can see performance numbers, cashflows, evaluations, and the like to better manage and develop each specific investor relationship.”

“Focusing on building long-term relationships with managers has — over time — enabled us to take advantage of opportunities that are not available to other institutional investors.”

“We were really looking for where we could get the most bang for our buck when it came to software spend, especially after using an outdated, very manual system before. One of the main points that made the transition to Backstop such an easy decision was relationship tracking. Previously, we did not really have a way of accessing all of that information right in front us, just clicks away. That was one of many issues Backstop made so much more efficient.”

“By using Backstop, our managers can easily access financial information and analysis anytime when making investment decisions.”

"Early on, the value of Backstop software came from making things we were already doing better. Now they’re helping us do things we hadn’t even contemplated or anticipated.”

“Great system and very easy to access. Very powerful tool for Investor Relations and Marketing purposes."

“We are able to connect relationships, understand who the players are, and manage meetings and communications. The system and the tools Backstop has provided to us are second to none in that regard.”
